king ubu Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 I'm afraid I can't, being from Switzerland, but if it's some Amazon Marketplace seller, why not try and send an email? ubu Quote
David Ayers Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Posted August 3, 2004 I sent an email but no response as yet - I think I may need a Plan B! Quote
Claude Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) Can anyone help me make a purchase from someone who ONLY ships to Germany and ONLY accepts a German style bank transfer? I have been able to convince almost all german Ebay sellers to ship to my Luxembourg address. Of course I asked before bidding. Writing in german certainly helped. The only thing the seller has to do is look up the shipping cost, which he can do online. As far as "german style bank transfers" are concerned, it's true that german banks still use the old system of german bank account number and Bankleitzahl (BLZ). If the seller can't find his IBAN number and BIC/SWIFT code, you can look them up yourself. The IBAN number can be calculated online: http://www.ibanrechner.de/index.php?id=1&L=2 The BIC code can usually be found on the website of the bank. You will eventually need the code which belongs to the right agency. Being outside the Eurozone, you will have to pay higher transfer fees (8-10 Euro). Edited August 3, 2004 by Claude Quote
David Ayers Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Posted August 3, 2004 (edited) Thanks Claude. That is useful information. So far I can't get the seller to reply... oh well.... Edited August 3, 2004 by David Ayers Quote
